Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: "What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?". They ask: "How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him.

When Clara made her recent post about tulips and poetry, she didn't have access to my photos from our bike trip. So now that my camera's pictures have uploaded as well, I'm making this second blog post to show them to you as well:

As part of our bike trip, our Dutch teacher took us to the coast at Noordwijk. The terrain was quite new to us, as we'd never biked over wooded hills or along grassy dunes before in the Netherlands:

And then there was the sea itself! Of all of us, Clara was the only one to get her feet wet.
